How many people should be in each district?

As counted by the 2020 Census, the City of Murrieta had a total population of 111,187. The decennial census is the only survey that counts everyone, so we have to use that data to draw districts. There will be five council districts. To figure out the ‘ideal population’ for each council district, take the total population and divide it by the number of districts (5) which equals 22,238 persons.
